Case No. 2:15-CV-00717-JCM-PAL
(Removal of Case No. A-14-703785-F
from the District Court of Clark County,
Nevada)
UNITED STATES’ MOTION FOR
EXTENSION OF TIME TO ANSWER
OR OTHERWISE PLEAD; ORDER
THEREON (First Request)
The United States of America, through undersigned counsel, respectfully moves this
18
Court for an order extending to May 18, 2015, the time in which it must respond to intervening
19
defendant Chicago Title Company, Inc.’s complaint in intervention to interplead funds. In
20
support of its motion, the United States asserts as follows:
21
22
1.
The United States Attorney for the District of Nevada was served with the
summons and complaint in intervention in this action on March 19, 2015.

2.
On April 17, 2015, this case was timely removed from the District Court of Clark
County to this Court.
3.
Under the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure governing removed actions, an answer
4
would be due 7 days from the date the action was removed, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 81(c)(2)(C), in
5
this case, April 24, 2015.
6
4.
The United States, its officers, and its employees normally receive 60 days in
7
which to file an answer or otherwise plead. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(2); 28 U.S.C. §2410(b). In this
8
case, the government’s response would be due on May 18, 2015.
9
5.
The United States respectfully requests an extension of time which would afford it
10
the full 60 days in which to respond. This would allow counsel for the United States time to
11
receive from the Internal Revenue Service the material necessary to respond to the complaint and
12
defend its interests, as well as obtain the Service’s views on the matter. This motion is not being
13
made for delay, but to permit the United States to prepare a cogent and accurate response which
14
would advance this litigation.
15
16
17
18
6.
Both the Federal and local civil rules authorize this Court to grant, for good cause,
an extension of time in which to answer or otherwise plead. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b); LR 6-1.
7.
In moving for an extension of time, the United States does not waive any defenses
listed in Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h).

3
plaintiff’s complaint.
